Small Animals

Be entertained by the antics of the delightful little creatures in our small
animal house: mice chipmunks, chinchillas, guinea pigs and rabbits. Nearby
reside our family of ferrets and our tortoises.

Did you know that in remote areas of Peru it is common for people to live to
125?
One of the reasons they give for this longevity is eating Guinea Pigs.
You may notice Guinea Pig does not feature on the tea room menu.

The farm has continuously grown over the past 24 years however Tilly the tortoise
at 26 years old is still a diminutive 3 inches. Not all of our tortoises are
so small, in fact our African Sulcatas are the largest of the land tortoises
and are surprisingly speedy at food time.
